Cepages: Group: Scotch Whisky Sub group: Speyside Colour: Single Malt Whisky Closure: Cork Producer: Flora and Fauna Website: Organic/Bio Status: Food / cocktail match: Food / cocktail recipe: Press Awards Other Info: According to old excise document, Peter Brown began distilling whisky at Linkwood in 1824. After his death, his son, William Brown ran the distillery for another 30 years, and gave the distillery a solid reputation. Linkwood is tooled up since the very beginning with large capacity stills. Completely refurbished in 1872, it entered in the Stock Exchange quotation in 1898, when the family Brown created the Linkwood- Glenlivet company. Innes Cameron managed the distillery from 1902 up to his death in 1932. The distillery has been taken over in 1936 by the D.C.L. (Distillers Company Ltd.), and refurbished again in 1962. Like many other distilleries, it was closed during World War II. When it opened again, it was ran by Roderick Mackenzie for 18 years. Mackenzie was very afraid that the quality of the whisky could be altered by any change in the distillery, so he decided nothing could be altered at Linkwood, even the spin webs must stay in place. Enlarged in1971, Linkwood tripled its production capacity. Despite all those alterations, the Linkwood distillery has always kept its traditional character. The distillery was closed from 1985 up to 1990. Only 1 or 2% of the production is marketed as single malt, the remaining being used in the blends of the UDV group, White Horse, Haig, Bells and Dimple amongst others.. The Flora and Fauna single malt series were launched in 1992 by the then owner, United Distillers. The idea of the launch was to illustrate the differences in Scottish malt whisky regions. A total of 26 expressions were released. Initially the range was bottled at 43% but later some expressions were released as Cask Strength. Diageo has since taken over ownership of United Distillers and thus, the Flora and Fauna range. Diageo discontinued the series in 2010. The range includes single malt bottlings from the following distilleries: Aberfeldy, Auchroisk, Aultmore, Balmenach, Bladnoch, Blair Athol, Royal Brackla, Coal Ila, Clynelish, Craigellachie, Daluaine, Dufftown, Glendullan, Glen Elgin, Glenlossie, Glen Spey, Inchgower, Linkwood, Mannochmore, Mortlach, Pittyvaich, Rosebank, Teaninich, Speyburn, Strathmill. www.whiskydesignaward.com .

Port Dundas was one of the founding members of the grain distillers’ conglomerate DCL. Port Dundas later went on to merge with its neighbouring distillery, Cowlairs and another one in 1902, Dundashill. Port Dundas produced grain whisky for many blended whisky brands owned by Diageo such as, Johnnie Walker, J&B, Bell's, Black & White, Vat 69, Haig and White Horse. The site would produce an astonishing 39 million litres of spirit each year before it was shut indefinitely. Sadly after a century of distilling, in 2010 Diageo made the decision to focus their efforts on grain production and expaned Cameronbridge side, and in 2011 production ceased and the site was demolished.

The Ranking of the World's Million-Case Spirits Brands 2019
THE RANKING OF THE WORLD’S MILLION-CASE SPIRITS BRANDS 2019 001 Cover DI MILLIONAIRES 2019 FINAL.indd 1 04/06/2019 14:58 The millionaires’ JUNE 2019 DRINKSINT.COM 3 COMMENT The volume game Regardless of Trump’s tariff wars, Brexit and other socio-economic issues, the spirits industry is thriving. And once again The Millionaires’ Club bears witness to the movements of million-case spirits brands all over the globe. Ninety-two of the 153 millionaire brands listed in the 2019 supplement demonstrate an increase in volumes, so the industry shows no signs of slowing down. The biggest volume players are always from Asia due to the huge populations and brand loyalty in major markets, with soju’s Jinro now boasting 87m cases. But it’s also been fascinating to see Diageo’s Indian brandy Men’s Club virtually double in growth despite it showing decline over the previous four years. Looking at Europe, Martell has had a great year. A huge 18% growth shows how cognac is returning to its former glory in terms of international sales and the same can almost be said for vodka in the US as it appears the market is no longer in free-fall, with many of the big players returning to growth. It’s possible that volume sales will dwindle in importance as future generations of consumers continue to drink less but better – quality over quantity. The assets may shrink and the players may change, but this game of volumes isn’t going to end any time soon.

Distillery Label – Linkwood 15 Yo
Spirit Single Malt Whisky Distillery Label – Linkwood 15 yo Country: Scotland Region: Speyside - Lossie - Elgin - Morayshire Producer: Gordon and MacPhail Range: Distillery Label Range Bottling: Gordon and Macphail Bottling Style: Single Malt Whisky Water Source: Springs near Millbuies Loch Age: 15 years – bottled 2018 Cask Type: First Fill and Refill Sherry Casks Colour: Dark Gold Flavour Profile: Sweet with a citrus edge Allergens: not known Bottle size: 70cl - abv: 43.0% The Dititllery Label Range The history of this range heralds back to the very beginning of Gordon and MacPhails - to the days when distillery spirit was produced primarily to be used in blends. Because of the strong working relationships they had with distillery owners, they were allowed to bottle and sell the spirit they created as single malt on the condition that we used their 'house' label with the caption "bottled by Gordon & MacPhail". These relationships have culminated in today's 'Distillery Labels' - a showcase of historical label design. Speyside All Speyside whiskies are Highland whiskies; but, not all Highland malts are Speysiders. What is the difference, why the distinction of the Speyside region? The answer is quite simply the River Spey. From its source in the Cairngorms National Park, the river meanders 107 miles, disgorging into the Moray Firth at Spey Bay. Speyside, located in the middle of the Highland region, is also considered by many the heartland of Scotch production. Today, more than half of Scotland’s working distilleries are located in this region. Geographically, Speyside encompasses the area east and west of the River Spey, partly in tandem with the Morayshire county lines.

A History of Campbeltown & Islay
A History of Campbeltown & Islay 12 pages written by Professor Michael Moss Islay and its neighbour Jura are the innermost of the Hebridean Islands. Islay is largely low lying and fertile, well- suited to growing grain, while Jura is mountainous with only a small coastal strip on the east side. Like Kintyre, both enjoy the warming currents of the Gulf Stream. Campbeltown lies at the end of the long Kintyre peninsula that stretches from Ardrishaig down to the Mull. Sheltered from the west by high ground (and the north of Ireland) and warmed by the Gulf Stream, it enjoys a mild temperate climate. The long fertile coastal plain on the east shore is ideal for growing oats and barley or bear or bigge. Top left, a map of Scotland with Campbeltown & Islay highlighted. Bottom left, a map of Campbeltown. Above, a map of Islay and Jura. Campbeltown and Islay were until not that long ago reached easily only by sea, but the waters around the Mull are perilous with strong tidal currents that made access dangerous, particularly in winter months. A History of Campbeltown & Islay Page 1 Since Scottish summers are frequently wet, As in much of Scotland, economic grain had to be dried in kilns.
